She is a very nice person and smart , perhaps just an off day .

Thank you for sharing your thoughts @NotCompSavvy but, please note that, my comment related to the post not the poster.

I’ll be 72 next month, Ron turns 79 in September.

I’m in good shape though I have to work hard to stay at a decent weight which is frustrating. My whole life until I hit menopause I was blessed with a fantastic metabolism which I totally took for granted. I could eat anything and never had to worry about weight gain. Those menopausal hormonal changes are a bitch!!

I am grateful I’m not frail or plagued with medical problems, still active and mobile, no joint issues or in need of hip or knee replacements, all things which many of my friends are dealing with.

My biggest annoyance is that neither my sight nor my hearing are as sharp as they once were.

Yes, working. I don't really care about my birthday, honestly. It's just another day to me.

Happy Birthday Dave!

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

an Aries like me....

Actually, I'm on the cusp of Pisces/Aries. At the risk of sounding like a stereotypical hippie, I used to identify as Aries, but since my mid-40s I've felt more Piscean.

21st is actually Aries.. the first day of Aries.... one of my sisters' was born on the 19th... you'd think she might have a little Aries in her given that she's almost on the cusp...not a bit of it, she's an absolute archetypal Piscean

Oh quit it! Have a great birthday, do something you enjoy!

If you look at the characteristics of each sign, Pisces and Aries, you'll see it makes sense to feel more Piscean as one gets older. More mellow, more introverted, whereas Aries is just the opposite--a fiery leader and pioneer, or so the astrologers say.

@Marcy Sheiner
You are a chanteuse! Seeing your name, that just popped into my head! Hope you like it!

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I’m 65 and been here since March 2018

 

[Doste]

I'm 64. Back when I was 56, someone asked me how old I was and I had to work it out. I should have been able to get my state pension this year but will have to wait another two years instead.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

@Pepper--Actually I love it!

 

[Krystal]

This year will be my 70th around the sun.

At this point my testosterone is so low that I actually find myself looking at the handbags / purses forum and say to myself " Oh my how lovely " .

 

[DaveA]

91 at present and my wife of 69 years will be 90 in a few months.

 

[Twostep]

And both of you are going strong!

[The Doddering Biker]

I will be age 90 in March of this year. How old are the rest of you Seniors?

I turned 90 in November of 2025. It is beyond me how I lasted this long. (

Brian Wilson, truck driver from Sheffield, celebrated his 91st birthday, in his cab. Brian first got behind the wheel in 1953, when he started delivering for fuel company, Esso. Back then, a gallon of diesel cost less than two shillings ,or 10p in today's money, whilst now it costs around £5:50.
Keep going Biker, Brian is 93 and has expressed no plans to retire.
